One day the pilgrims came upon a small river.
podcast-host
Its waters were limpid and clear, and its cold waves shined with crystal brightness.

Sanzang ringed in his horse and looked around.
podcast-host
By the river bank, where a few willows stood, he saw the outlines of a few thatched huts.
podcast-host
That must be the home of a ferryman, Wukong said.
podcast-host
I thought so too, Sanzang said, but I haven't seen any boats around, so I didn't want to say anything.
podcast-host
Chuba Yeah put down the luggage and shouted, Hey, ferryman, row the boat over here
podcast-host
After he called out several times, a small boat appeared, creaking its way from the shade of the willows.
podcast-host
Soon it pulled up near shore.
podcast-host
It was a sturdy looking vessel, and the person steering it called out If you want to cross the river, hop in.
podcast-host
Sun Zhang rode closer to the boat and saw that the boatman wore a brocade kerchief on his head and black silk shoes on his feet.
podcast-host
He had on a patchwork jacket and a skirt like robe that had seen a thousand stitches.
podcast-host
The skin on his wrists was rough, and the sinews of his arms were strong and hard, his eyes were dim, his brows wrinkled, and his face showing the wear of age.
podcast-host
and yet his voice was delicate and melodious, like the song of an Oreo.
podcast-host
When Sensan got close enough, he realized that the boatman was actually an old woman.
podcast-host
Wu Kung approached the boat and asked, You are rowing this boat?
podcast-host
Yes, the woman answered.
podcast-host
Where's your husband?
podcast-host
Why are you rowing instead of him?
podcast-host
The woman smiled, but did not answer.
